Woops, that is a very bad error!

Could you check if it still occurs on version beta 5?

Ok, thanks but where can I get Beta5 - I thought Beta 4 was the latest release?

The eror didnt occur everytime but happened on startup a few times when the rx cable was malfunctioning.

Here's a quick post to show the complete installation with onboard #16 camcorder with wide angle lens.

All components have been installed in small pockets cut out in the foam and have been covered with tape.

I haven't test flown with the camera but will post as soon as weather permits a test run!

(exchanged rx cable and startup now works fine!)

Cheers,

Björn

Wow, this will increase the weight by more than 10%, and the speed as well?

Yes, auw is now 160 grams but I dont think it will be a problem... The motor is a little "hot" for duration so I might replace it with a lower KV Eflite 180 to extend range...

Hope to post a flight video soon!

Hi friends,

I have now test flown the CRAY with camera and it flies surprisingly stable and well. Hope to post some video as sonn as I have edited it soon here...

I have also stripped a MOBIUS cam from its original 40g to 18g which is the same as the #16 keychain cam but SO much better quaity...

Tom - do you think it would be safe to power the cam from the GP2 boards 5v from the servo rail?

OK.. Because of power drain or interference...?
(the 3.7v input of my Mobius is not working anymore so I need 5v to power it from the USB input)
THanks,
